We have engineered synthetic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels as cell-ingrowth matrices for in situ bone regeneration. These networks contain a combination of pendant oligopeptide ligands for cell adhesion (RGDSP) and substrates for matrix metal ...
We envision the use of human fetal bone cells for engineered regeneration of adult skeletal tissue. A description of their cellular function is then necessary. To our knowledge, there is no description of human primary fetal bone cells treated with differe ...
Fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation - a key event in the development of fibrocontractive diseases and in wound granulation tissue contraction - is hallmarked by the formation of stress fibers and the neo-expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin. Inc ...
The elucidation of molecular cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions regulating tissue dynamics necessitates straightforward model systems that can dissect the associated physiological complexity into a smaller number of distinct interactions. Here we ...
In this thesis, the potential use of fetal bone cells for tissue engineering was evaluated. At first, fetal bone cells were characterized in vitro regarding their proliferation rate, the induction of their osteoblastic phenotype, and their antigenicity. Th ...
It is presently accepted that fibroblast/myofibroblast modulation represents a crucial step in granulation tissue contraction and in the production of the connective tissue deformations typical of fibrocontractive diseases. In addition to synthesizing extr ...
